Oh yeah, life goes on...

Sotto - in regards to men in their 50's wanting to date women 10 years younger, I am sure it runs the gamut.

At my new company, my coworker was telling me that a few years ago there was an attractive 20 year old working in the office. When she started a line formed around her office and out of the wood work came all sorts of men wanting to take her out to lunch. Some of them were unmarried but most were married! All men were signicantly older than her with some of the married men being 25 years older. And no, there was no business reason they needed to take the gal who filed the office papers out to lunch, in case one wonders if it was pertinent shop talk. By the way, many of her pursuers were very high up in upper management!

I told my coworker I hoped the married men came home and told their wives they had lunched with the 20 year old at work. Hah!

There is a very attractive young man who also works in our office and we had ourselves in stitches over the idea of married women 25 years older sidling over to him and asking him to lunch. It doesn't happen. We let the guy work in peace.

At each company I have been at I have seen many, many instances of older (and often) married men trying to lunch with the most youngest of office workers. And it was always weird seeing the wives when you knew their husbands were making complete fools of themselves practically chasing the young gals around their desks.

My suspicion is that somehow, for some men, they falsely think their worth is in how young of a woman is on their arm and that this makes a statement about them to other men?

Anyway, these days so many people are dishonest about their sitch's you practically have to run a background check to see their true marital status.

Sounds like you are keeping busy and doing well. Thank you for posting it helps to see life from the other side of this.
